Following up from his killer Ludacris v. SebastiAn Mash up, Glitch hop pioneer Kraddy hits us with another meeting of musical monsters. This time it’s a royal rumble between the Oakland crew, Luniz' classic I Got 5 On It and the purple tinted track City Hopper from Bristol's Dubstep don Joker. Grab a copy below.

Dope new project from our boy Troublemaker...
RAD OMEN - "Rad Anthem" from Nicholaus Goossen on Vimeo.
Our favourite smokey soulster Pete Lawrie received some more blog loving for the Cousin Cole remix of his track All That We Keep last month but we just copped an exclusive from our Hollyrock homeboy Troublemaker that adds extra stomp whomping Hulk Hop heaviness to the track Black & Blue eating other remixes for breakfast, lunch and high tea. Check it out.

And if you missed the Speech Debelle remix of the same track or the Monkey remix of Panic. You can find them here and here respectively.
As this is mixed by Plastician and features artists such as Benga, Caspa, Starkey and Virus Syndicate, not entirely sure what constitutes it as an LA Dubstep album but maybe we're nit-picking and infact it's just an overview of what's big in LA, and make no mistake Dubstep is big in LA. If you needed any more convincing look at the list of West Coast Hip-hop big hitters who are jumping on board. Ras Kass, Xzibit and Big Snoop Dogg himself. We're not entirely sure who the Cashmere Agency are, and in which way they are presenting Mr. Grustle & Tha Russian but it does present a new era for Dubstep in the US.

Another track from the outer reaches of LA's future Hip-hop illumni. Grand Puba takes care of vocal duties for St Andrew on this one, one for those sun drenched Californian afternoons.

Sneak preview of the forthcoming Exile remixes album from fellow LA resident Take aka Sweatson Clank, and it's a beauty.

6Blocc from LA got his name from a Masta Ace track apparently ("the bass I create is heard from six blocks") so it seems only right he Dubstep´s up the classic Jeep Ass Niguh ... although of course the bass Ace was pumping out was heard from 50 Blocks away by then. If only he´d pumped this it might even have been further again.

Also repping LA hard is Ruckazoid, whose album Diamond Studded Mothaship should be dropping later in the year. Gonna be massive if this Boyz remix is anything to go by.

Representing them big, bass heavy Bwomp Beats over on the West Coast, Ev-1 hit us up with his latest Boomstep Mixtape, that kind of speaks for itself really. A well crafted mix of tracks stretching across current to classic, underground to unheard from some of our favourites such as An-ten-nae, Bassnectar, Akira Kiteshi, Mochipet, Rusko, Raffertie, Jayou, EPROM, DZ and Stagga (full tracklisting and download here).
No we haven't decided to revive a pointless rivalry that ends up with some people shot and others very rich... okay maybe a little bit, but really it's simply a tenuous link because we happen to have some great stuff to post from New York and some other fantastic stuff from the California area.
First up, dope LA based beats and bass lovin' blog I Am A Laser has schooled us on a producer / DJ from the city called R/D. Coming out of the same scene as Glitch Mob, the sound on this Mini Mix created from tracks off his new Cricket EP is a touch on the lighter side than the Mob's full force club attacks and is rather more similar to what we've heard so far from the PANTyRAID project, no bad thing at all.

Plus Daly City affiliate Preshish Moments has released a Free EP of twisted style glitchy Turbo Crunk that shows a little something of his Breakcore past. Grab the EP here.

Regular readers will already be aware of South Bronx rapper June, well it's his month so it's only right we post his new track featuring fellow BX spitters AB3 & Kool and some extremely minimalist production from Ron Browz.

He's also dropped a new Mixtape hosted by the one and only Cipha Sounds.

Finally, relative newcomers to the game 13/13 out of Brooklyn have hit us up with an ecletic range of remixes, all of which have had our heads nodding here in Chrome Mansions. Our favourite is probably this re-edit of a classic that doesn't stray far enough from the original to be sacrilegeous but has an extra touch of dirty bass synths to keep it fresh enough to bring back into our sets again.
(YSI) Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5 - The Message (13/31 Edit) / alt link
We also have something of a guilty pleasure soft spot for both Lionel and Saved by the Bell, so had to get this in some place too.

After already dropping some of our most heavily rotated mixtapes in the shape of No Wine, Just Women and Your Face, Hollyrock hot stepper Troublemaker shows off his party startin' skills once again on his latest installment, simply titled 4. Classics meet crazy underground dance floor destroyers as Hip-hop, Electro and House get worked into a whole Troublesome mélange that let you know why he's been rockin' spots from the Manifest Hope party at Barack Obama's inauguration celebrations to Governor Schwarzenegger’s birthday party. If you're on the West Coast you can catch Troublemaker at his residencies: Wasted Space in the Hard Rock Hotel (Las Vegas); and Benders (Denver, CO and San Diego).
